// THREAT DETECTION AND DATA PRIVACY TERM
Privacy Rights
Privacy rights are the entitlements individuals have regarding the control and protection of their personal information, including how it is collected, stored, used, and shared by organizations. These rights empower people to determine what happens to their own data.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Privacy Rights represent fundamental individual entitlements dictating control, access, and protection of personal data and sensitive information, often codified in regulatory frameworks like GDPR and CCPA, obliging entities within the cybersecurity and defense sectors to ensure data subject autonomy, security, and compliance against unauthorized exploitation or disclosure.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
